This problem was attributed to the psychological, social, and economic nature of a high index of emigrant population of the different provinces of Ecuador. In order to understand this situation, the research was framed within a field of study for easy understanding and reproduction of methodological techniques and procedures. Here, different samples were studied and a work structure that covers the collection of information and its contrast with the investigations was carried out.
